This Explains A Lot

Churches and other houses of worship need money just like all of us do, if only to keep the lights on and try to help some people cope with their own problems.

We also like to think our religious leaders always preach what they honestly believe is true, no matter who’s supporting their ministries.

It surely was no small thing when St. Sabina Church, a Roman Catholic parish in mostly black Auburn Gresham, got $200,000 from the George Lucas Family Foundation in 2014.

$200 grand sure buys a lot of support from Pfleger:

Since Lucas declared the museum plan dead last week, Pfleger has upped his attacks on Friends of the Parks, the nonprofit group that blocked the hopes of the billionaire filmmaker and Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

Pfleger told me he has no regrets for likening Friends of the Parks to the Gangsters Disciples because they boss the lakefront just as street gangs on the South and West Sides claim turf.

You mean like, say, a renegade "man of the cloth" who appointed himself spokes-asshole to attack a non-profit that stood in the way of the mayor's wish to give away land he had no right to give, to a billionaire who could have built his private art repository in any of a thousand vacant lots all around St. Sabina. Which, coincidentally, would save the black and brown children his multi-millionaire wife worried about, tens of thousands in bus fare to come see art that had nothing to do with Star Wars (a wholly owned subsidiary of Walt Disney Corporation).

All you hypocrites that fill the collection plates every Sunday and shell out the big bucks tuition for Catholic Church enable this moron. Just remember his church operates at a loss so ur churches funds get funneled to him. That's why the church never gets dime from me.

Hmmmm, this from Phleger, the priest who refuses to change parishes every so many years like every other catholic priest has to do? the priest who blackmails the archdiocese by saying if he can't stay at St. Sabina, 30-plus years going now, he will leave the catholic church?

Who elected Phleger to head up St. Sabina and to tell his boss, the cardinal, what to do?

Then the weak and spineless catholic church here, the same church that just moved pedophiles from one parish to another, later settling lawsuits instead of fighting them, caves in to Phleger and lets him stay at st. sabina.

Ooooooh but noooooo, that donation from Lucas had nothing to do with his ranting against Friends of the Park.......

At least Mr. Flaegler wasn't cheap. $200K is a good chunk of change. And even if Chicago doesn't get the Lucas museum, he gets to keep the money. Sounds like what Judas did when adjusted for inflation.

Which he would never have mentioned and the public would never have found out about if someone had not looked over the Lucas Foundation IRS filings.

If he compares the Friends of the Parks to gang members, shouldn't he be on their side? He sides with all the criminal pieces of shit that the police have to put down. He sides with the criminal "activists" who choose to start riots instead of peacefully and legally protesting. Maybe he should've compared them to a white gang. At least then it would make sense for him not to like them.

And let him know you can read , especially the Church Bulletin that indicates the Church is getting less money and then tell him why you stopped. Virtually the only way to get your message across to the powers that be , about how shameful Mr. Phaker is and how wrong it is that the rules no longer apply to him. We gather if your a " Social Justice Warrior" there are a new set of by-laws in the Church or in life as well, just ask Eddie they all seem to have his phone #

Fr. "Faker" is Living Proof of the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church, especially in Chicago. The day that the City is forced to end its residency requirement, Catholic Churches and Catholic Schools in Chicago will fold! We will no longer have to pay for settlements involving Child Molesting Priests, (pedophiles) or Dead Weight Churches like St. Sabina. The Church is spineless in allowing Fr. "Faker" to remain in power this long. But then again, if a male Olympic Gold Medalist can become a woman; I guess an Old White guy, can pretend to be Black!Stay Fetal, Stay Fetal; Chicago Values, Chicago Values. Baby"G"

Don't families with children in Catholic Schools have to "donate" a specified amount weekly to the church?If that's the case, it's hard for those families to hold back from that collection plate, even tho many would love to.

I solved my problem with the catholic church by not going to the catholic church any longer. I can go to many other churches with out having to listen to them beg for money and how they need another roof and this and that and all the bs.Someone tell them that is not what church is for.

As for Pfleger, I just wish he'd stop that fake black accent. I'm surprised that it doesn't offend the blacks in his parish.

As the saying goes "now that we know what you are, all we have to do is agree on the price". Phaker is nothing more than a common street whore, just a little more expensive. Bought & paid for just the same.

200G sure goes a along way with PFleger's babies mommas. He's done a great job hiding them from the media and the masses, but it's all good, cause they are black and church members...man of god my ass.

Citizen Cupcake says.....We can always count on Fake Father Fakey to prove the old adage true YET AGAIN that it is better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all traces of doubt.

Fuck the Fucked up Rev and the Catholic Church, they let this fuck do what everhe want's, How much of that donation did he give to the hire-up's? They (pastor's)all have there own slush fun's!, it's a large racket, using God's name in vain!

I am no fan of this priest. But, where do you get your information that this church operates at a loss?

Thank you,SCC, for mentioning that this "Lucas museum" will literally have NOTHING to do with Star Wars. That was one of the big tricks Rahm was playing on all of us. Lucas sold the rights to all things Star Wars. He has zero affiliation with it now. That place wouldn't have even had a painting of an Ewok in it. Yet, Rahm and his cronies played this up as the new "Star Wars museum" that all the children would love! It was all BS. 100% BS. The museum was to be called the George Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, not the Star Wars Museum. It was a fraud that was about to be played on every Chicagoan. Good riddance to it and a big Thank You to the Friends Of The Parks.

Now that's funny. That coming from the person who appointed themselves as final arbitrator on what RIGHTS Law Abiding Citizen may exercise in Illinois -- for self-defense and other purpose that are nobody's f--king business, especially HIS! And the self-appointed final arbitrator on what LEGAL and heavily regulated products are allowed to be sold, i.e.: Firearms.

Also, I'd almost bet he rent that the 'good Father' is clueless on what was to fill that Lucas monstrosity. Thinking it would be full of 'cool' inter-active Star Wars exhibits like an updated Museum of Science and Industry, and not full of esoteric pieces of 'narrative art' that most people, and folk, couldn't care less about.

Especially the 'black and brown children' bandied about by Rahm et al, like they're Pawns in Lucas' ego driven power grab for lakefront land.

And let him know you can read , especially the Church Bulletin that indicates the Church is getting less money and then tell him why you stopped.

Better yet, just drop an IOU in the plate with a note that the IOU gets paid when Phaker is gone.

Actually, I read somewhere in the last year or so that his is one of the few 'disadvantaged neighborhood' churches that's financially sound. But, yes, your donations are being funneled to other churches.

I give zero, this sister church act is old, when my children went to a catholic grammar school west end of 008, i found out that so many of the kids coming in were "subsidized" as my wife and myself toiled to work and pay, so we have to pay for illegals and link card holders? I'm done if I want to help out someone I will chose who and currently I help my family and always will! Then they have the "sister church" where you money helps out churches life racist flakys done as in Done!

Tip of Corrupt Chicago,,,. other Pastors were to get in on the free money..already Lucas set to give $25 Mill to Daley's after school matters ..how many other connected assholes would be cut in the Billion dollar bonanza right before November election ? Lucas sold all Star Wars rights to Disney.. does bankrupt Chicago AND Illinois need to use borrowed to build a Temple to Lucas??

This is your future. The mob led by an unscrupulous demagogue. They are organized, and the leaders are paid to keep the mob angry.

Our elected leaders are bowing to that mob. You disagree?! What do you call stripping the officer that defended his partner? Visiting the dirt bag drug dealer, but not the police? The Ghetto Jackpot payoffs? The pandering to the loudest voices in the neighborhoods?

You want to stop it? Get organized, get active, get your friends to vote these bast@rds out. These corrupt criminals have run this city for decades, and it is only getting worse.

Sent two kids to Catholic Grammar School and Catholic High School, working side jobs to pay for it. But enough is enough, I am done contributing to the Catholic Church. My local Church does not hold the same views as the community activist Priest, but I will no longer contribute a dime to the Catholic Church. If my local church wants me and many others like me to support them again maybe they need to organize and protest this Arch Bishops support of this renegade "Priest". I doubt they will get far with this Arch - Bishop since he appears to be cut from the same cloth , as a matter of fact so does this activist no nothing Pope. How in the hell does the Catholic Church expect to sell the Papal infallibility thing when you have this Pope telling a sovereign nation that they are unchristian to protect their borders. Didn't hear him criticizing Mexico about their very strict and harsh prison sentences for the Guatemalans violating their southern border. Another Religious hypocrite. The Lutheran and Methodist church sound like a better idea right now.

Skinheads, not really a gang. An organized group of blue collar, working Anglo-Saxons live in Oak Lawn, some in Bridgeport. I knew a lot of gaylords back in the day. Some died, some went to prison, the rest got jobs and settled down.

Lots of rotten stuff going on with that bunch, CC. There are some genuinely crazy people working for them, with "serious personal issues," who should not be allowed near the public. Think they are doctor, judge, PO, psychologist, "social worker" all rolled into one -- and act like God's f__ing anointed.

When the verbal threats of physical violence come, it's time for random drug testing, at the least.

How about that privately run, HUD-supported senior building he got put near there? I know that outfit -- everyone there is undoubtedly beholden to him for their job, and it makes you wonder about "tenant selection and placement," too.

Some of the dirtiest games in the world go on in these places. Very, very ugly. Run on savage gossip and "in-groups," to the detriment of everyone else who just wants to be old -- quietly.

Proof again why pastors should not be engaged in "empire-building" for decades.

Sure, your money will go to the Lutheran Immigration And Resettlement Service instead.

Find a good young man trying to get started, a family having a hard time, a senior citizen struggling to survive, and walk over there and give them a hand. Quick, neat, no huge office staff to support, no alien political and "social justice" agendas -- and 100% of your contribution goes right to the people who need it so badly.

"Charity begins at home."

As for the rest -- I feel that the good Lord hears your prayers, no matter where you're sitting.

I was told in Catholic school that parish priests take the vows of chastity and obedience (but not poverty). A few years ago, when the Archdiocese wanted to make Fr. Fluffer principal of Leo HS, he threw a temper tantrum and refused to go. So much for the vow of obedience. What a hypocrite! What an emasculated Cardinal.
